So, there’s a story in my head… a new one… and it really wants to be written… but I am not finished through the first round of edits yet on my FIRST book… part of me really wants to table it and come back to it later, and the obsessive compulsive part of me wants to finish it… so what do I do here?  Do I tell the story that begs me to write it, or do I follow through and finish a project?  This is such a tough decision for me.  I knew this would happen if I took too long on my first story, but that’s part of editing… you have to spend a long time on it!

I love writing, and I know this is what I am supposed to be when I grow up, but right now I need a little direction…
